Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Etymological Dictionary of the English Language Owing to the large number of corrections which the use of the newer method renders imperative, I took the opportunity, in 1901, of printing an entirely new edition of my Concise Etymological Dictionary, first issued in 1882, and partially corrected in four later editions the result being that the edition of 1901 entirely supersedes all that preceded it.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Etymological Dictionary of Modern English The vocabulary dealt with is, roughly speaking, that Of the Concise Oxford Dictionary collated, during the printing Of the book, with that of Cassell's New English Dictionary These two marvels Of completeness and compression include, however, a great number Of scientific and technical words which can hardly be regarded as forming part Of the English language, while omitting, either by accident or. Design, others which, in my Opinion, have acquired civic rights. As our language grows with the same majestic and unnoticed progress as our empire, it results that every dictionary is, strictly Speaking, out of date within a month Of its publication, and many words will be found here which are not recorded in either of the above compilations.

Download or read book English Etymology written by Friedrich Kluge and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-08-02 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Messrs. Kluge and Lutz here offer a select glossary of English words showing in brief articles the derivation of each word and in some cases the changes it has gone through before reaching its present form. As 'an introduction to the history of the English language' their work has the merit of being concise and handy in form. It is not, of course, and could not be, a rival to Prof. Skeat's large 'Etymological Dictionary, ' to which the authors frankly acknowledge great indebtedness, but for commencing students it ought to prove a useful and indeed, fascinating work. Prof. Kluge has a great reputation and the merit (rare on the Continent) of a competent knowledge of English work. Thus he adopts Dr. Smythe Palmer's derivation of 'clever, ' a much disputed word. In describing it as 'not yet found in Shakespeare, ' he is hardly in accord with English idiom, though it is clear what he means. 'Quaint' should be referred to Latin 'campus' as well as 'cognitus, ' for it seems clear that it took on some senses from the former source as well as the latter. 'Cipher' ought to be referred back to its Arabic source; its doublet, 'zero, ' is not included in the glossary. 'Rather' might have been given under its positive 'rath, ' familiar as used in Milton's 'Lycidas' and elsewhere. 'Allow' ('allocare') is included, but there is no hint of the existence of the 'allow' which represents 'allandare, ' and is of much earlier use. We have not come across under this first letter any of the words such as 'alcohol' and 'alligator' which retain the article as their first syllable. The principles of selection adopted are not very clear, but we can hardly expect in any case to find more than a useful minority of the immense stores of English words, represented in a thin volume of some 230 pages. The student can easily add to his vocabulary later, and perhaps agree with us in finding some of the derivations debatable. Meanwhile a serviceable book of handy size on this important subject is a distinct boon. -The Cambridge Review, Volume 21 [1900]

Download or read book Principles of English Etymology Classic Reprint written by Walter W. Skeat and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-02 with total page 586 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Principles of English Etymology The present volume is intended to serve as a help to the student of English etymology. In my Etymological Dictionary, the numerous examples of similar letter - changes are invariably separated from each other, by the necessity for adhering to the alphabetical order. It is therefore advisable to re-arrange the results so as to shew what words should be under consideration at the same time. It is only by a com parison of this character that the various phonetic laws can be properly observed and tested. I have found it advisable to follow the example of Mr. Sweet, in his History of English Sounds, and to consider what may be called the 'native element' of our language apart from the Romance or imported element. Hence I have purposely excluded all words of French origin from the present investigation. A few French words are quoted here and there by way of illustration, but no inferences are here drawn from the results which their history furnishes. If the present volume should meet with approval, I propose to issue another volume, to be entitled 'second Series, ' Which will deal particularly, and almost exclusively, with the words which have been imported into English from French, as well as from Latin, Greek, and other languages (except Teutonic and Celtic) af/er the N orman Conquest.
